Just talked today to a friend who watches Days, but tapes, and does the weekend watching. She does no internet, spoilers, message boards, and I told her a couple of items about characters.......and she said she wished they would get rid of Will, she cannot stand him......well, she added something I will not post here about the actor's method of speaking.
I am only getting at the fact that there are viewers who share opinions and are not influenced at all by reading anything. Just watching and getting totally bummed out.
